Startech's Cat5e Shielded F/UTP Snagless Patch Cables offer reliable Ethernet connections. This 3 ft cable meets or exceeds all Category 5e specifications and features a durable blue jacket that simplifies departmental color coding while providing rugged flexibility for network connections. To reduce susceptibility to EMI/RFI and near end cross-talk, the cable offers shielding throughout the length of the cable, as well as around the RJ45 connectors. To ensure long-lasting performance, Startech's high quality Cat5e Shielded F/UTP Snagless Patch Cables feature a snagless design that protects the RJ45 clip from damage and makes the cables less prone to snagging during installation. The cables also feature PVC molded strain relief that prevents the RJ45 connector termination point from bending at sharp angles - reducing the risk of cable damage, which could decrease network performance. Startech's 3 ft Cat5e Shielded F/UTP Snagless Patch Cable is constructed of only top quality materials to ensure optimum durability.
